Exodus 19:22 In Levitical times, the priests could not come before the Lord  until they were sanctified.  They did need to perform a lifetime of good works.  They were sanctified by a blood sacrifice on the altar. For us to come and worship God we must be justified and sanctified.   Every born again Christianbare priests. A pastor, a teacher of the church is to equip believers to be ministers. A priest is a 'bridge builder '.  If you're foundation is not built on Jesus Christ, then the work will topple. Who takes care of your sin?  Jesus Christ.   While you are trying to deal with your sin, you will continue to sin. We are to give it to God and walk in the Spirit.   We are to take our steering wheel of our life and give it to Jesus. He wants us to grow in life and fulfil our purpose.   We are all bridge builders.   Revelation 1:6 - 'and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.' W

You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water.  I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory.  Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.  I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands.  I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you.  On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night.  Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.  I cling to you; your right hand upholds me.  Those who want to kill me will be destroyed; they will go down to the depths of the earth.  They will be given over to the sword and become food for jackals.  But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by God will glory in him, while the mouths of liars will be silenced.
